A dozen eggs at a time is about right for a family. An order of 1,500 is appropriate for an Olympic team. But 15,000? Now you're pushing it.

After what some suspect was a scrambled translation, chefs with the Norwegian Winter Olympics team ended up with 13,500 unexpected eggs at their kitchen in South Korea.

Chef Stale Johansen, in an interview with Norway's Aftenposten newspaper, said they thought they ordered 1,500 eggs from a South Korean supplier, but 15,000 arrived. He described how the team "received half a truckload of eggs," with "no end to the delivery."

Aftenposten said the order was partially done through Google Translate. According to The Guardian, South Korea has a complex counting system, with different systems for difference purposes, and a difference in one syllable can change an order from 1,500 to 15,000.
